| French Polynesia - a legendry part of the world that has inspired great art, literature and poetry, come here and you'll soon find yourself equally captivated.
Known more commonly as Tahiti, the correct name for this area of the South Pacific is French Polynesia, a collection of five Archipelagos consisting of 118 islands covering an area of 1544 square miles which is equal to the mainland of Western and Eastern Europe combined. The most popular visited individual islands are those in the Society Islands, Moorea, Tahiti, Bora Bora, Raiatea and Huahine, with very limited tourist development these islands offer an experience of island living that has changed very little over the centuries that man has been in occupation. From the sublime comforts of the world-class hotels, visitors are gently encouraged on their South Pacific holiday to explore this natural wonderland, a paradisiacal place of dramatic mountain peaks, powder white sands and reef-protected lagoons. Sunbathing and relaxation are popular here, whilst the outrigger canoes, jeep-excursions, sunset cruises, scuba-diving or even joining in on excursions to feed the reef sharks are all available. With over 7 hours of daily sunshine and an average temperature of 30° C French Polynesia is an ideal all year round South Pacific destination for your holidays, a magical environment for those looking for romance and seclusion. |
